THREAD: Between 2001 and 2003, Republican Senate staffers hacked into and stole 4,670 files on controversial Bush judicial nominees from 6 Democrats, including me. This scandal amounted to a digital Watergate, not unlike Russia’s hacking of the DNC.
The ringleader worked closely with #Kavanaugh in pushing these controversial nominees. Kavanaugh testified he had no reason to suspect anything “untoward.” Today I began confronting him with the many reasons why he would have known there was something deeply wrong here.
Days before the hearing for a hyper-controversial nominee, the ringleader of the hack sent Mr. #Kavanaugh specific details on what I was planning to ask about at her hearing. Said he learned it from “Intel.”
Before any mention of it was public, the ringleader also sent #Kavanaugh a DRAFT letter of mine and other Dems. He worked extensively on nominations in the WH at the time, and would’ve known he had a private letter that hadn’t yet been reported in the press.
The ringleader also wanted to meet privately, OFF-SITE with #Kavanaugh to provide him and another official with docs with intel on Sens. Feinstein and Biden. Why not email or fax?? There’s more to this email that I hope will be public, and soon.
These are the only documents that Chairman Grassley allowed to make public to date. There are more that are being hidden and that shed light on #Kavanaugh’s role in this scandal. They must be made public so you, and the Senate, can judge for ourselves. #WhatAreTheyHiding
